Description
As you arrive at Hwy.99 (New Salem Road), you encounter Sterling Farmer Dam. CAUTION! This is likely to be a low-head dam with keeper hydraulic at many flows. Do not be deceived and tempted by this short drop without full consideration of the possible hydraulic. It appears there may be a short, constricted, bypass channel around the right side.
